HUMXN subsidizes repair work in three US cities in exchange for job recordings
2 reports · 1 sources
AI company HUMXN has launched a program in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Miami that subsidizes repair costs for eligible households, covering services such as drain clearing, electrical work, HVAC, duct cleaning, and carpet cleaning, on the condition that technicians wear wearable devices to record the work process, with the footage used to train AI and robotic systems. The first round of applications is open to residents of the three cities; specific services are subject to review, and not all repair needs will be free; the publicly cited reference rate for technical trades is $20 per hour, subject to the program's terms. HUMXN says it will not schedule service or recording before obtaining resident consent, and will blur or remove identifying information in the footage. HUMXN says the core of the program is collecting data on human technicians' work, not dispatching robots to perform free repairs.
